Jeannette Williams Reid, a lifelong resident of Springfield, passed away peacefully at the age of 90, April 19, 2015. A consummate mother and homemaker, Jeannette was an excellent cook and passed that passion down to her children and grandchildren. She endlessly enjoyed preparing wonderful meals for gatherings of family and friends. She was also an avid sports fan and cherished her St. Louis Cardinals and Missouri Tigers. Jeannette also had a true passion for traveling abroad. She and her husband of 66 years, Kenneth, enjoyed fifteen vacations to Europe. Each was an adventure with family or friends which provided plenty of stories they willingly would share. Most of all, Jeannette loved to "brag" about the accomplishments of her seven grandchildren. Jeannette and Kenneth were charter members of Twin Oaks Country Club and members of First and Calvary Presbyterian Church. She is survived by Kenneth, brother Abbott Williams, Jr of Willard, MO, son David Reid and friend Marla Marshall of Springfield, daughter Sally Cox and husband Ken of Coppell, TX, daughter Diane Orth and husband Neil of Kansas City, MO, grandchildren Melanie Cox Nuckolls and husband Michael of Frisco, TX, Nicole Reid Kamprath and husband Richard of Dallas, TX, Derek Etheridge of Kansas City, MO, Jarrod Cox of Dallas, TX, Courtney Reid Brockmeier and husband Joe of St. Peters, MO, Megan Etheridge Pudenz and husband Tyler of Liberty, MO, Danielle Reid of Dallas, TX and one great grandchild, Reid Kamprath. Visitation will be held at Gorman-Scharpf Brentwood Chapel, 1947 E Seminole from 3:00-5:00 PM, Sunday, April 26, 2015. A private family service is planned Monday at the Missouri Veterans Cemetery, officiated by Reverend Dr. Andrew Chaney of First and Calvary Presbyterian Church. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Help Give Hope, 2733 E Battlefield Rd, Springfield MO 65804 or Good Samaritan Boys Ranch, PO Box 617, Brighton MO 65617-0617.
